Today’s guest is Latham Thomas, the superstar doula and founder of Mama Glow—a global maternal health + education platform serving birthing people along the childbearing continuum.
Inspired by the transcendent birth of her own son 21 years ago, Latham went on to become a doula herself—including to stars like Alicia Keys, Anne Hathaway, and Ashley Graham—and to create a doula training program that’s educated hundreds of birth workers and touched thousands of lives.
She’s also an author, visiting professor at Brown, and the co-founder of the Mama Glow Foundation, a non-profit committed to advancing reproductive justice + birth equity through education, advocacy, and the arts.
In this episode, Latham discusses her upbringing, attachment parenting, the importance of teaching kids body literacy, and how she’s embracing her current “open nest” period.
Be on the lookout for a Part Two of our conversation with Latham, in which she shares her incredible birth story that ultimately inspired her career path, as well as passes along 5 tried-and-true tips for How To Help A New Mom.
